January 13th

They always say that 13 is an unlucky number, that the 13this an unlucky day, but for me 13 has always been super lucky and today was no exception. Levi showed up bright and early this morning with news. Both good and concerning.

"Wake up I have an announcement to make, it is a special day Ms Daley for I am now at your service the entire week."

"Levi, could you have at least waited for like an hour before you woke me up. Because I am not a morning person."

"Okay, but did you at least hear what I said."

I was being grumpy as I usually am every morning and Levi was no exception to that rule. He interrupted my sleep and thus he has to face the brunt of it. Boyfriend or not, there are very few things I love more than my morning sleep.

"Wait, what do you mean the entire week, won't your patrons at the posh bakery miss you and your charmingly prompt service."

"Obviously they will be temporarily upset, but I needed a break and so I took a week off because according to Dr Carter in precisely 10 more days you will be leaving this sad place and then you may choose where you want to live."

He was extra chirpy this morning and it was infectious. I properly woke myself up and for the first time I was actually really happy at the prospect of leaving the hospital because now I had somewhere I belonged. That somewhere, was with Levi.

"Okay then, let's make the most of the last ten days here. They claim PDA well then let's give them something to actually complain over."

My plan now was to annoy the hell out of Dr Carter but do it silently. This was so unlike me, but being around Levi made me want to take risks and so began the 10 day long silent protest. They were going to kick me out regardless so it was time to give them a legitimate reason to do so.

Day one of ten and already I was chickening out. It sounded fun and rebellious when I first conjured up the plan, but the more I thought about it the less I wanted to actually go through with it. But it was too late, because mission one was to kiss every time a nurse walked past. And Levi was adamant to prevail. The first display was in front of hot nurse Lisa and Levi took this one seriously, he grabbed me on the back of my neck and passionately sat me down on the bed and began kissing me. I was not prepared for this and the many more encounters that were ahead. Lisa didn't say anything she just pretended like nothing happened and walked out of the ward. Meanwhile, Jarrod from bed 31 was practically hooting at this point. This was definitely a bad idea.

Second and gladly last encounter was with the head nurse. She walked in and immediately Levi pressed me up against the wall, almost like he was putting on a show, once again began kissing me. The head nurse wanted none of this, so with a look of absolute disdain on her face she said, "If you could refrain from playing tonsil tennis on the premises, I and all other unwilling spectators would be extremely grateful." She was livid with annoyance but contained it because of her professional uniform. I guarantee that if this weren't a hospital one of us or both of us would be in serious trouble right now. There would be a scary nurse on the loose who could probably lift more than me and Levi combined.

Day two, and there was really no plan at all. I wanted to back out because I thought that the PDA was pretentious and it ruined the whole personal vibe that the previous encounters had. So we decided to stop. It was day two and we were out. But saying that we still carried on, just privately instead.

Our favourite spots were, the always dark back corridor, the laundry room and of course the janitor's closet. It felt exhilarating to be sneaking around so much, especially trying to hide from the staff and even Alex. She didn't know anything, that he was now my boyfriend or that I had finally kissed a guy, more than once. I missed her and I had no idea where she was. I was a terrible friend but for once in my life I had to think about myself because things were finally looking sunshine and rainbows, after the storm which was the last month ever since I found out I was accepted into Springfield International College and literally felt sick.
